Marvel Start With Reality Stone - Chapter 58
“Moreover, due to the development of the times, HYDRA has infiltrated every aspect of various industries!”
“Even I can tell you this!”
“Even your Stark Industries, you wouldn’t know how many people there, secretly belong to HYDRA!”
Qi Jun, with a face full of schadenfreude, made Tony Stark grit his teeth in frustration.
Unfortunately, Tony Stark couldn’t beat him! Even in his Mark suit, he still couldn’t win!
“Stop joking. Do you really think you can flush out these hidden HYDRA members?”
Seeing Tony Stark deep in thought, seemingly planning to use JARVIS to identify and legally deal with those HYDRA-affiliated employees, Qi Jun was speechless.
If HYDRA were that easy to catch, could they still be around today?
As long as HYDRA doesn’t destroy itself, it can outlive any organization!
During World War II, if not for the Führer’s overly brutal methods, plus the ruthless tactics of the Red Skull-led HYDRA branch, given the power they controlled, how could they possibly have been on the losing side?! (Only within the context of the Marvel World War II)
“Shouldn’t it be?”
“Don’t you know how terrifying an organization HYDRA is?”
“My company has been infiltrated. Why can’t I clear them out?”
Seeing Qi Jun’s delight in calamity, especially concerning his industrial group, Tony Stark could no longer hold back.
He glared at Qi Jun hatefully, as if Qi Jun wouldn’t know why the flowers were so red if he didn’t give a satisfactory answer.
“Heh~”
Qi Jun didn’t take these issues to heart and simply analyzed them for Tony Stark:
“Firstly, the real high-ranking members of HYDRA are few, and they wouldn’t infiltrate your company; they target the military and political sectors of various countries!”
“Secondly, due to the developments of the times, the internal structure of HYDRA is no longer unified!”
“I know of
a HYDRA branch that has always been dedicated to bringing back their ‘god'”
“But other branches have already developed their distinct ideologies.”
“Some are content with controlling the political power of the countries they hold.”
—
“Some HYDRA branches don’t actively cause trouble and only want to focus on their research, deeply hidden.”
“Of course, there are also HYDRA branches that want to dominate the world and eliminate all opposition.”
“And how will you differentiate these HYDRA branches?”
“JARVIS is indeed advanced, but when those infiltrating HYDRA members have been acting covertly for decades, even to the point of dying without revealing themselves, how can you dig them out?”
“Moreover, aside from HYDRA, inside your group, agencies like S.H.I.E.L.D., the Defense Intelligence Agency, CIA, FBI, and others are simply too numerous!”
“When do you plan to finish cleaning up?”
Qi Jun looked at Tony Stark with a smirk.
At this moment, Tony Stark was utterly furious, no longer caring about Qi Jun’s patronizing gaze.
—————
“F*ck!”
“F*ck!”
“What are they trying to do?”
“Do they think Stark Industries is just some public square they can walk into whenever they like?”
A bewildered Tony Stark, while listening to Qi Jun as if he were hearing a myth, authorized JARVIS to investigate the entirety of Stark Industries thoroughly.
This investigation, which was not initially deemed urgent, turned critical as Tony’s eyes nearly popped out of his head.
According to the data displayed by JARVIS, over sixty percent of the employees at Stark Industries had suspected contact with intelligence agency personnel, including some middle management and even a high-level executive!
According to Qi Jun, some agents or intelligence personnel might never be activated in their lifetime.
From this, it can be inferred that at least seventy percent of the personnel in Stark Industries are infiltrated or are infiltrators themselves!
What does that mean?
Is this supposed to be a sieve?
Especially since this situation persists even after the discontinuation of the weapons manufacturing division.
What if they were still developing weapons? The profitable division of Stark Industries would be filled with people planted by other intelligence organizations or various chaotic organizations.
Tony Stark, looking at this data, nearly lost his breath again.
—————
Watching an angry Tony Stark, Qi Jun’s lips slightly curled up.
Would Qi Jun tell Stark that many of the people who infiltrated Stark Industries came after he announced he was Iron Man?
Obviously, Qi Jun wouldn’t say that!
Let Tony Stark stew in his anger!
Such opportunities to watch the drama unfold are rare!
Even then, do you think Qi Jun telling Tony Stark about this was out of kindness?
I want to see Tony Stark and HYDRA go at it.
—————
“You already know the origin of HYDRA, and I won’t say more.”
“For more information, please, a price!”
“Oh, right, I forgot to say, the Winter Soldier, Bucky, belongs to one of those branches of HYDRA that lurk but seek to eliminate all threats to HYDRA!”
“So, I’ll tell you the final question you want to know.”
[What the…?]
What kind of twist is this? Tony Stark glared at Qi Jun.
Who does this, reaching a climax and then just leaving it hanging?
However, Qi Jun completely ignored Tony Stark’s gaze.
There is no choice. Who else has the power like us?
In this world, in the end, it’s about who has the more giant fist!
Qi Jun suddenly liked this style of not caring about the consequences.
“S.H.I.E.L.D.”
“Derived from an organization’s acronym.”
“Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division.”
Seeing a baffled Tony Stark, Qi Jun chuckled.
“This is its current name, long and tedious, and I’m sure you’ve encountered it before!”
“I simply refer to it as S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Qi Jun shamelessly adopted it for his use.
But then again, S.H.I.E.L.D. is still using that long and tedious name during this period.
